You nailed it. It's such an imbalance because the whole dog and pony show relies on them maintaining the appearance that you need them more than they need you. In reality, it is exactly the opposite, but our political system artificially promotes centralized, large organizations to a greater extent than they might otherwise proliferate in a genuinely free market.
The important thing to me is that people take the kind of "radical responsibility" that is inherent in the Law of One in all the directions it can go. Building networks of responsible producers and consumers that can operate without the expensive and overbearing infrastructure of the corporate world prefigures the kind of "peer to peer" economy that can meet our needs when the corporate one comes crashing down. In this way we can "build the new society within the shell of the old", as the Wobblies say.
Towards a world without bosses!
